Kanye's Wife Bianca Censori Named as Potential Witness in Rapper's Trial | In Touch Weekly
’s wife, , could be called as a witness to testify in court as part of the rapper’s legal battle with a former employee over alleged discrimination, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Tony Saxon, who filed a bombshell discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Ye, 47, in September 2023, submitted his witness list ahead of trial scheduled for February 25.
Bianca, 30, Ye and several others are listed as potential witnesses who Tony plans to grill on the stand in court.
In addition, Tony said he plans to use texts and photos from Bianca as evidence. He also has texts from Ye that he will be introducing in the trial. Bianca and Ye have yet to respond to Tony’s witness list.
In his lawsuit, Tony claimed he worked for Ye from September 2021 to November 2021 as a 24/7 security guard and caretaker for the musician’s former Malibu property.
In his lawsuit, Tony said he often worked 16-hour days. His duties included coordinating the demolition work on the home, hiring contractors and making sure the property was secure from trespassers. Tony claimed he was forced to sleep on the floor at the home.
“Throughout the entirety of [Tony’s] employment, [Tony] was sleeping in makeshift conditions, finding empty spaces on the ground and using his coat as a makeshift bedding. These sleeping arrangements were near open insulation. [Tony] did not have access to a proper bed or comfortable sleeping environment,” the lawsuit read.
Tony claimed he was promised $20,000 per week for his work, according to the suit. He also said he complained to Ye’s team about the working conditions but nothing changed.
At one point, Tony said he needed time off for an injury, but Ye continued to “insist on having updates on the home.”
Tony said things took a turn when he refused to comply with Ye’s demands to perform work on the home over concerns the requests could lead to a fire hazard.
He claimed Ye told him to “get the hell out.” The ex-employee said he informed Ye he was owed over $40,000 for work and supplies purchased. Tony said he was terminated on November 5, 2021, for “not complying” with Ye’s “dangerous requests.”
Tony’s lawsuit read, “When [Tony] refused to engage in unlawful conduct or to engage in activity that would further cause him physical injury, Mr. Ye responded: ‘If you don’t do what I say, you’re not going to work for me, I’m not gonna be your friend anymore and you’ll just see me on TV.’ To which [Tony] replied, ‘I don’t watch TV.’ Mr. Ye ended the exchange with ‘Leave.’”
He also said he was misclassified as an independent contact and not paid properly.
In November 2023, Ye fired back at the lawsuit and denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
His lawyer argued, “Without admitting that any damages were suffered by [Tony], if damages were suffered by [Tony] as alleged in the complaint, those damages were proximately caused by and contributed to by persons and entities other than [Ye]. The liability of [Ye] and any responsible parties, named or unnamed, should be apportioned according to the relative degrees of fault, and the liability of [Ye] should be reduced accordingly.”
Ye also argued Tony performed work without his knowledge. He demanded the suit be tossed and Tony be awarded nothing from his complaint.
